A remnant of my Hungarian upbringing, salad is consumed as an accompaniment to the main dish. Even at restaurants I will eat my salad with dinner. I've never had any servers complain about it either, thankfully.

If it's at home, like you're asking, I eat it during dinner. But eating out would be before dinner.

Ditto.

But I don't like to fill up on salad in a restaurant so I'll move the plate over to the side to nibble on with my main course.

Why are waiters so anxious to take away my salad? Even after I tell them I want to keep it they'll ask if they can remove "that plate" when they refill the beverages. I don't believe in slapping hands but a couple of times I was pretty sure that was what it would take.
